13 days! Countdown to the Golden Heart award ceremony

Thirteen days until the Romance Writers of America® Golden Heart® and Rita® award ceremony in Atlanta!

Today, I have resolved to not think about it. Much. 😉 Tomorrow is soon enough to get back to the business of writing. It’s a beautiful, sunny day, the first we’ve had for a couple of weeks, and I plan to enjoy it by spending some time outside. Of course, with it being Sunday, my primary focus is gratitude to God for his many blessings, prayer for those who suffer, and service.

For now, I’m relieved that I got a decent first draft of an acceptance speech written yesterday (should it be needed!). I’m already revising in my head. By the time it gets done, it might have one clever or witty line – but every word of acknowledgement will be heartfelt!

What’s that? Oh. It took me twenty minutes to produce a less-than-two-minute talk.

Thanks for accompanying me on this journey!!! Stay tuned for tomorrow’s update…
